The card boasts excellent visual appeal, characterized by its vibrant colors and sharp imagery, which are well-preserved across both the front and back surfaces.

The centering on this example is superb, appearing nearly perfect to the unaided eye, with only a slight bias that remains well within the stringent tolerances for a Mint grade.

Centering
9
Excellent centering, appearing nearly perfect to the naked eye. The front exhibits a 53/47 left-to-right and 50/50 top-to-bottom ratio, while the back is similarly well-balanced, falling comfortably within the stringent tolerances for a Mint grade.
Corners
9
All four corners are sharp, exhibiting only the slightest, almost imperceptible touch of wear or factory-level imperfection under magnification, consistent with a Mint grade.
Edges
9
The edges are very clean and smooth, showing no chipping, nicks, or rough areas. A single, minuscule factory cut imperfection may be present upon extremely close inspection, but does not detract from the overall Mint presentation.
Surface
9
The card's surface is clean and free of scratches, indentations, or significant print defects. Original gloss is fully retained, with only a single, very minor factory print dot or superficial imperfection visible under direct light, which is typical for the grade.
Print Quality
9
The print quality is excellent, featuring vibrant colors and sharp focus on the player image and text. Registration is precise, with no significant print shifts or common Fleer print defects that would impact the Mint assessment.
